Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on Senior Telephony Engineer who actively writes production-grade code and has deep experience with Asterisk-based systems, Java backend development, and high-scale dialler platforms.

- Develop and maintain Asterisk dialplans, AGI scripts, and call flows
- Build Java-based backend services for telephony control and orchestration
- Implement and optimize predictive / preview / progressive diallers
- Integrate telephony stack with:
Kafka
RabbitMQ
- Write scalable code for call routing, retry logic, and queue handling
- Work directly on SIP signalling, RTP flows, and debugging call issues
- Handle real-time call events, CDR processing, and logging pipelines
- Optimize systems for high concurrency (thousands of parallel calls)
- Debug production issues like:
Call drops
Latency
One-way audio
SIP failures
Qualifications & Skills
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering; Master’s is a plus.

· Good to Have
- Experience with predictive dialers
- Exposure to WebRTC / real-time communication
- Experience with Docker / Kubernetes
- Understanding of TRAI / Indian telecom ecosystem

What We Are NOT Looking For
- Pure solution architects who don’t code
- People with only theoretical telecom knowledge
- Candidates without real dialer / Asterisk production experience
What We Are Looking For
Someone who has:
- Written real dialplans and backend code
- Debugged live call issues
- Worked on production telephony systems
- A problem solver who can go deep into logs, packets, and code
Impact of the Role
You will directly contribute to building a high-scale telephony + AI voice platform, working on real-time systems that handle thousands of concurrent calls.
